문대통령, 가상공간 청와대로 어린이들 '랜선 초청'
It's Children's Day in South Korea, and so President Moon Jae-in and First Lady Kim Jung-sook invited children to the presidential office of CheongWaDae -- virtually that is,... for a celebration.
Usually, a group of children get to visit to the presidential office on this occasion,... but because of COVID-19,... the first couple took part in the production of a special video clip based on Minecraft -- the popular video game.
Here's part of it.
Hello, everyone Are you enjoying Children's Day?
You are the precious treasure of our country. I am even more pleased to get together with many more of you online this year.
I hope this video gives strength to all the children who are staying home.
I'm so proud of you for enduring this situation.
Thank you for helping us overcome COVID-19 together.
I love you all.
In the video, the first couple gave the kids a tour of the presidential office and showed them a daily COVID-19 press briefing by the KCDC.
Moon thanked the children for their patience in overcoming the COVID-19 outbreak and expressed regret that they aren't able to go to school yet.
He also asked children to remember that adults are also doing their best to fight the virus.
The First Lady stressed the importance of hand washing and wearing masks.
Separately, on social media,... President Moon noted that it's the one-hundredth day since the creation of the Central Disaster Management Headquarters.
He said it's all thanks to the staff there that South Korea is now able to relax its social distancing measures starting Wednesday.
He said that he is thinking about their hard work on this Children's Day -- and asked for their continued efforts until the end of the outbreak.
